action
Moritz Eisner is called to a crime scene late in the evening by his superior, Ernst Rauter. On the premises of the company "Intercomp", two assassins who disguised themselves as garbage collectors had gained access to the secured area, shot two security officers and seriously injured the chief financial officer, who was killed shortly afterwards by the killers on the way to the hospital in the ambulance.
It quickly turns out that the import and export company not only deals in white goods , but is heavily involved in the drug business. After a few hundred kilograms of heroin were found in the camp, the police realized that the headquarters of the drug syndicate and the “Intercomp” was just a front company. Eisner is assigned by his boss to the secret operation of the Federal Criminal Police Office, which has been trying for years with "Operation Job" to arrest the organization and its backers. The inspector is to assist an undercover investigator in finding Dr. Ziu, a Kosovar Albanian and head of the drug syndicate, to convict. As the head of the company "Intercomp", he promises Eisner all cooperation so that the assassins can be found. He also receives support from Inspector Bernhard Weiler, who is actually about to retire and is personally friends with Eisner. In his many years of police practice, he remembers some incidents that seem to be important in the new case. The first trace leads to Timur Krymow, who is active in the Viennese red light scene and apparently also pushes into the drug business.
Together with Bernhard Weiler, Eisner succeeds in locating the garbage truck that the attackers used to get onto the company premises. In order to secure the traces in it, they bring the entire vehicle to the KTU and can secure the DNA that leads to the two alleged assassins. They are arrested under the use of the SEK . Although it is very likely that they acted under Timur Krymov's order, there is nothing to be proven. However, he was found shot a short time later. Everything indicates that this was the drug syndicate's revenge against Krymov's assassination.
Dr. Ziu notices that Eisner is dangerous to him. With dubious means he tries to intimidate him about possible weak points. Therefore, he puts his henchman Ninko on his daughter Claudia. The likeable young man quickly manages to get in touch with her and to bring her into his power. Eisner also had doubts about the loyalty of his boss to him. It looks like he was using it as a decoy to kill Dr. To distract Ziu from the actual investigation.
The team from "Operation Job" succeeds in winning the next major drug deal from Dr. Ziu is on the trail, and everything is being prepared to convict the head of the drug syndicate. With the support of the Slovak police, everything is being prepared in the Danube port of Bratislava to ensure the planned drug delivery. However, it turns out that this is a ruse by Dr. Ziu was. He had seen through the police's plan and misled them. Thus, the investigation of "Operation Job" is not successful, the assassination was obviously an incipient drug war, which Dr. Ziu has won for the time being.
After two days of disappearing without a trace, Eisner's daughter reappears safely.

Reviews
Beate Strobel at Focus online sees the crime scene as a “long farewell to local crime: a Viennese 'crime scene' without abuse, but with more reality than would have been necessary. [...] A real criminal case is said to have been the godfather of 'Operation Job', into which Commissioner Eisner is drawn. Ambitious, but still not a good idea. The best crime films often come across as realistic - but the other way round, reality is rarely a good crime novel. There is a lot of sitting around in this 'crime scene', waiting, listening […] [and the case is not fully resolved]. "
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm judge: "An evil strategy game with increasing tension, threatening mood and nagging uncertainties." Conclusion: "An evil game with subtle tension."
Tilmann P. Gangloff from Kino.de praises the crime scene and writes: “Author Max Gruber skillfully varies his narrative style over and over again: Sometimes he orientates himself on the gangster film, then he almost brings the plot to a standstill and switches to an individual perspective. These jumps clearly illustrate the contrast between the old and the new world: here the unscrupulous gangsters who are fought by the police with the help of the most modern surveillance methods, there the old-fashioned investigative work, which leads to surprising success. "The critic also praises the work of the director and says: He “sometimes stages this 'crime scene' almost artistically. Especially the long shots, in which the movements of the camera replace the cut, are great craft. "
“The film shows a brutal variety of modern crime, but does not allow itself to be carried away into action or excesses of violence, and despite all the worries about the daughter, the investigator cannot be completely disturbed. [...] 'Operation Job' is particularly impressive because of its absurd situations, which become wonderful metaphors. [...] Police work - that is Sisyphus work. Success against organized crime is not a happy ending. This mild mood of the futility of one's own work lies above the 22nd Krassnitzer 'crime scene', which in its rather old-fashioned staging has a very atmospheric and realistic effect at the same time.
